Iraq (Operation Spear) News
Insurgents are nationally born people raising up to throw off the oppressors, these people are plain and simple TERRORISTS
The AP is at best ignorant because it doesn't seem to know the difference, at worst compliate in misleading information
Since they aren't nationals from any one particular country, and no country will claim responsibility for them, they have no geneva convention rights. Still, what do we do with them? We now have to house them, give them hot meals and treat them like royalty, give them a better life than they ever had trying to fees themselves out the outside. In fact, we have to make them live the democrat socialist utopia dream, be housed, fed, given free medical care, and pampered 24-7, for the rest of their lives should they stay in prison.
In a sane world, they would be executed. but in this one, they will be let go to try an American or bomb civilians again.
Pray for W and Our Troops
These are impressive numbers for an enemy so shadowy. Well done U.S. Marines!
This is how it has to be. Slow and steady. It is hard to find, capture, or kill an enemy that blends in so well. I invite any one to read up on "Fourth Generation Warfare" as it relates to this battle in particular. We are in an era of a totally new type of fighting. It combines old school small unit tactics, with the information age. It is a pain when these independent cells are able to communicate so well. In the past they operated independent of others. Now they share information, and are more difficult to locate. Since they know when we are coming, from the other splinter cells. I only pray that America will have the staying power (the civilian population), to see this to the end. It can take years. We need to look no further than the IRA, PIRA, FARC, PLO, etc...
I know the Marines can do it...

ANOTHER Iraq is NOT a quagmire BUMP!!!
a 10-year-old girl was killed
These terrorists did get reprisal for their 50 dead with the killing of a ten year old girl in Iraq. There is a lot of PC in the article if you read the complete article. So the AP does make it sound like the terrorists are winning if one reads the complete article.
However, it was reported I believe in the Washington Times this week that Iraq is sucking all the Terrorist activity worldwide into that country -- the terrorists are focusing on destroying the newly elected government versus targets in the West or the Middle East or Asia.
Great news.
